Eftalia Holiday Village

The hotel was quite OK at first. How clean the rooms were depended heavily on the cleaning lady. All the staff was SUPER friendly, especially the guys in the snack bar. One major problem was that we found mold in the AC on the last day, which explained the headaches we had every morning. The food was ok, a little of everything, but it was the same every day, so it got boring after a few days. Some of the other guests used their vacation as an excuse to act like animals - not pretty. Also, although most drinks were free... more

We stayed at the 'Aytur Eftalia Holiday Village' for our honeymoon which was recommended to us by a travel agent. After looking at the pictures that she emailed me the hotel looked like a dream honeymoon location, we were expecting a 5 star all inclusive resort and service. There was nobody to greet us at the hotel and when we did finally find someone of assistance they could only speak German even though they were Turkish????? All of the entertainment was in German. There was no mention of this being a non English hotel. The food was ok... more

Only one review when I booked this hotel but several before I left so I was not looking forward to our first family holiday for 8 years. We dont have great expectations and have never been AI before but this episode has put us off going again. The hotel and village complex was lovely and there were always staff cleaning outside areas. I would say the hotel and village warranted the 4* rating. Rooms - our was a 3 bedroomed family suite and each room was spacious, had air-con a balcony (one shared with master bedroom other had... more

we arrived at eftalia holiday village on 12th June 07 for 2 weeks, we where very excited about being on holiday and in good spirits. our first impression was "what a lovely place" however this all changed after our second night, mealtimes are very stressfull! you had to que for any kind of meat for over half hour, evan had to que for bread for 15 minutes, if you got a table you was very lucky but you then had to clear it up yourself from the last people that ate there! on several occasions we sat on sun loungers to eat our meals. the... more

we have just arrived back in uk last night 26/06/07 we have never been more relieved to get home. it was awful our room was filthy there was dirt and dust under all the beds even stuff from previous guests we told rep of this in first few days she passed on to manager and nothing was done our 21 month old baby became very ill with his asthma. there was fleas in the room all over the beds. despite telling rep about very wet floors in the toilets nothing done about that also our baby slipped and bruised his leg badly. the meals are horrendous... more

Resort good points. Very tidy resort, the rooms are very well done out and maid service on hand every day. The food is Not brilliant but it is in no way any worse then most resorts that do all inclusive meals. There is plenty to do on site like treat your wife and yourself to a Turkish Massage (go for the job lot it was well worth the money and leaves you feeling great for the rest of your holiday) and don't worry about the kids they can either have one too or they have people there to watch over them whilst you relax.<br... more

Id had read a few reviews before we went on this holiday and went with an open mind. We were booked for 14 nights but moved to the Paloma Beach, Side after 4 days due to the following. On arrival along the dirt road at 4am the staff could not have een nicer and even offered to get us some food. When we awoke the next morning the sun was shining and we thought 'here we go'. When we went down to breakfast, our whole attitude changed. The food was awful and catered totally for Germans and Russians. The choice of hot food was hot... more

what can i say, had a pleasant time. the place is very clean, the food is ok, pools are nice enough. staff were alright but not as good as other people. the russians were unusually rude here and i always usually go to egypt and there are loads of russians there who arent this bad. It was a cheap break which i did enjoy and it was just what we needed but due to it being in the middle of nowhere i probably wouldnt bother going again but its decent enough.
